Cesare forcefully dragged Anya towards the direction of the carriage and couldn't bear to look back.
The two of them worked together to loosen the ropes that tied the horses as quickly as possible and boarded the only remaining wagon. Cesare sat firmly and took the reins, but looking at the terrible injuries on his shoulders, Anya still asked uneasily. With. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"If I can't survive, I'll replace you." Cesare gritted his teeth and said. The pain in his shoulder did not disappear but was increasing. However, he wanted to hold on while he could still hold on and prevent his energy from being wasted in vain. Twitching the reins, the horse pulled the cart and ran quickly.
The flowers behind seemed to have had a feast, but the human faces stained red with blood were still grinning hungrily, and the headless monster walked through the flowers carrying a hatchet.
A woman's crying sound came from the broken neck, and then it lowered its body and suddenly ran wildly at an astonishing speed, chasing after the carriage.
The truck rushed out of the foggy village and came to the path in the forest again. The fog was gradually dissipating, but the night was long and there was no dawn. The truck could only rely on the oil lamp hanging on the front of the truck to illuminate the road ahead.
The speed of the headless monster was astonishing. It simply abandoned the hatchet and returned to its most primitive posture, leaning down and using its human forelimbs for running. It was like a headless hound, chasing after the carriage and even running rampant. Continuously speed up.
The sound of silver bells chasing after him reminded Cesare that the danger was not over yet.
There are many forks in the forest path. It is no wonder that once you leave the fog village, it will be difficult to return the same way. It is completely impossible to catch up with the carriage of the leader Claudius.
Cesare was completely confused about the direction at this time, and could only gamble randomly on luck, drive the carriage, and choose the road based on intuition.
At this time, Anya observed the speed of the monster behind her and saw a familiar figure crossing the night sky, which was the raven with red eyes.
The raven's cry of "Ah--" attracted everyone's attention. It suddenly flew out of the forest and flapped its wings to the front of the carriage, seeming to be leading the direction.
"Cesare, trust me, follow that raven!" Anya stared closely at the raven's flight path, fearing that its dark feathers would melt into the night.
"Except for you, there is no one I can trust now." Cesare shook his head and complained, believing that things would not be too bad.
Asking Anya to keep an eye on the route, Cesare himself took advantage of the opportunity to go straight and looked back to observe the speed of the monster. He saw that the headless creature was still chasing after him. If he continued at this speed, he would soon catch the truck. car plate.
At this time, the rain cover on the car suddenly moved. Cesare thought that his eyes were wrong, but then four small gray heads popped out from under the cloth.
I thought it was the heads of flowers that had just grown up on the car floor, but when I took a closer look, those faces looked extremely familiar. They were actually the four surviving mute child workers in the team.
They were also abandoned by the group leader and had been hiding in the hood of the truck shivering. Only then did they muster up the courage to poke their heads out to confirm the situation. When they saw the creatures chasing behind them, they were all busy trying to get in. Return to Chabri.
"It's useless to just hide! This car is too heavy. Do you want to jump out yourself, or hurry up and throw away the useless garbage!"
Cesare yelled angrily, it was not like Anya who always smiled at everyone. The child workers looked at each other and seemed to understand the current situation. They were not good at fighting monsters, but they were familiar with carrying things and doing menial work.
"Wait a minute! Don't throw away the map!" Cesare suddenly warned, and the child workers also nodded.
Tables, chairs, colored balls, flying bottles, if Captain Claudius knew that his property was discarded in such a careless manner, he would be furious, but at this moment, nothing is as important as his life.
Several child workers lifted the magic table and threw it at the monster chasing behind, but the latter's light body dodged it. But the truck has everything you need.
The child laborer turned into a makeshift trebuchet. The lighter the weight of the body, the faster it ran. The monster was busy dodging falling debris, which also slowed down the pursuit.
"Left! Then go right at the next intersection!" Anya pointed to the raven in the sky. The raven's hoarse cries were translated by Anya. Now the burden was reduced and the direction was clear.
Cesare concentrated on holding the reins tightly and letting the horse run at the maximum speed. The visibility in the dark night was not high, so Cesare stared at the road ahead to avoid any accidents.
His eyelids were clearly open, but the vision in front of him gradually darkened. His head sank and he almost fainted. The entire carriage also swayed from side to side in an instant.
Anya was so frightened that she quickly grabbed the front armrest, and the child worker behind almost fell down. Fortunately, several children held hands to avoid the tragedy.
Cesare hurriedly shook his head to stay awake. His whole body was sore and his consciousness was blurred. At this moment, he actually had a high fever.
He subconsciously paid attention to his shoulder. The hyphae he used for his blood had penetrated into the depths of his blood along the tooth marks. Indeed, there was no more blood flowing out, because what flowed out along the torn crack... was adulterated. Black mucus mixed with hyphae.
Just like the scratch that Crosia received, the wound was infected by the monster, and it was definitely a hundred times more serious than Crosia's condition.
Cesare watched helplessly as the blood vessels around the wound were dyed black, spreading to his entire arm at an alarming speed.
Unprecedented sleepiness swept through his brain, and the voice deep in his soul told Cesare that he must not fall asleep. Once he fell asleep, he would turn into the same thing as those monsters.
"It's right in front!" Anya's voice made Cesare recover. He twitched the reins and made the final sprint, trying not to think about the changes that were happening on his shoulders at this time. It was the friction between his claws and teeth. Is it the difference that makes Crocia persevere?
Or is it too stupid to use mycelium to stop bleeding? Cesare gritted his teeth, his brain was in pain and confusion as if he was being punched constantly. There was definitely something rushing up his blood vessels into his brain, trying to fight for his thinking.
His mouth was so dry that he wanted to drink water, but pure fresh water could not satisfy his hunger and thirst. Is the blood of the people in this car enough to drink?
The crow of the raven brought Cesare back to consciousness again. The raven hovered high in the sky and shouted in a hoarse voice - "Never come again!" Then it glides into the night, and its shadow can no longer be caught.
"Then..." Cesare asked weakly. The strangeness of his body suppressed his body and he could hardly lift his head. It wasn't until he saw Anya raising her eyes and looking blankly at the night sky that Cesare managed to hold on. Hold your neck high...
I saw in the misty darkness ahead, a pair of huge scarlet eyes staring at the carriage like the light of a beacon.
Before Cesare could see the full picture of the huge creature, the deafening crows shook the entire Hunyadi Forest. The huge body flapped its wings in the dark night like a hurricane.
It flew into the air and spread its wings under the moonlight. It was a huge crow. Although its fully unfolded figure was far smaller than the legendary dragon, its size was far larger than any creature in the common sense of the world.
The scarlet eyes are sharp and ferocious, and just the falling black feathers are longer and wider than a human arm.
Surrounding the huge crow, countless crows circled around it in groups. The crows almost completely covered the sky. The noisy crows covered the entire Hunyadi Forest. It fanned majestically. The wings overlook the earth, like the lord of crows who is calm and powerful.
It was an extremely rare sub-dragon creature. It might really have a blood relationship with the dragon, but no one could tell for sure. Anya lifted her hair that had been blown away and watched excitedly as the behemoth soared into the sky. Several child workers fell to the car board in shock one after another following four muffled sounds.
Cesare was also shocked by the creature in front of him. He recalled the story Anya told. After witnessing such a majestic and shocking creature with his own eyes, the nonsensical fairy tale seemed to be a little more convincing.
The carriage passed under the big crow safely, and Cesare heard a loud noise from behind. The big crow suddenly fell to the ground and used its claws to trample the pursuing monster, embedding it in the mud.
But then, the "garden" of human heads once again grew wantonly from the forest behind, but Cesare and his carriage had already escaped the danger range, and only the sound of the monster's silver bells and the crows' cries could be heard far, far away. .
It is said that there is a fog village in Hunyadi. The fog is here all year round. Old people say that there are things that eat people in the fog. If you travel alone at night, you will be at risk of disappearing.
Many people in the town were lost in the fog and never came back. Among them, there was only one exception...
Many years ago, there was a woman named Mary in the town. She was lucky enough to be lost in the fog for a few days and returned to the town. However, she went crazy and stayed home to take care of her garden all day long. .
Later, her husband and children disappeared one after another. Mary also burst out of the house crying one night and ran into the fog, never to return.
The townspeople found the bodies of her family members in Mary's garden. From then on, the town would go home and close their doors and windows every night when the bells rang.
Because it is said that Mary's ghost still lingers at night, snatching away homeless people to nourish her garden...
After tonight, Mary's story was gradually forgotten by the people in the town, and only one nursery rhyme was spread far into the future.
"Mary, Mary,
So willful,
Ask you if you have climbed all over the garden,
The silver bells move with the wind, and the shells ring softly,
Lovely old friends lined up..."
On the other side, on another carriage.
The dwarf drove the carriage wildly on the forest path, his face covered with sweat, his short arms trembling constantly while holding the reins, and listening carefully to the sounds in the carriage behind.
"Bang" There was a big hole in the portrait of the leader Claudius, who was hit by a human stick. Claudius sneered and patted the dust on his hands, stepped on his boots and walked towards the wailing and rolling human stick Polonius, who was all over the ground. The four-limbed little man was picked up again by the leader's collar.
At this time, the face of the human stick Polonius was already covered with bruises, a lot of hair had been pulled off, along with a layer of scalp, and his face was covered in blood.
"Don't do this, Captain... don't do this!" Polonius begged tremblingly. "I can explain it, really!"
"Where do you start to explain... Should it start from the day I met you, or simply explain what the hell is going on now!"
Captain Claudius raised the human stick high and dropped it hard towards the floor of the carriage. The whole carriage shook again and again under the impact, which frightened the dwarf driving and shook even more.
Polonius, the human stick, had no arms to cover his face. He fell face first and lost two of his front teeth. He wailed loudly in pain. However, the leader slowly bent down and pulled his remaining hair to raise his face.
The leader, Claudius, shook his head helplessly and sneered. "I remember you said that the rumors in this forest are all false. As long as we walk through the forest easily, we can avoid those annoying pursuers. Then let me ask you, Mr. Polonius...
What is that thing? You know what's going on here, right? You're hiding something from me. "
Captain Claudius got close to his face and stared into the other person's eyes.
